In this post I will share the story of Jill Monaco's abuse by James Macdonald, pastor of Harvest Bible Chapel, Rolling Meadows, Illinois, USA. (He has since been fired).
Jill was the Executive Assistant to Kewn Shaw at Harvest Bible Chapel from 2005 - 2008. She was, furthermore, part of the worship team. She has suffered abuse at least on three occasions as follows:
1. A married pastor was inappropriate with her.
2. An elder pulled out her shirt and looked down her back without her permision.
3. A married man and leader at church used an opportunity for a hug to kiss her neck and touched her behind.
Her story is one of the following: spiritual and emotional abuse, sexual harrassment, fear tactics, control, financial mismanagement etc. She had been groomed to be isolated from other influences outside Harvest. Moreover, she had been gaslighted, gossiped about and people had been instructed not to speak to her.
She has seen first hand how pastor James Macdonald destroyed people who spoke out about him. She knew that he lied about people but she did not want to be a target.
